Apple has announced that the iPhone 7 will enable bitcoin payments and hints that Ethereum may be next. One of the phone’s apps for its growing messaging system will be Circle, a peer-to-peer payment program that utilizes bitcoin along with traditional fiat currencies.

The announcement came shortly before the bitcoin price endured another impressive spike. Now sitting past $620, analysts are projecting that bitcoin is again rising to $680, and will do so without strain. The addition of bitcoin to the phone is also slated to increase usage throughout certain parts of the world, including China.

I have been browsing through the latest Apple event video, but I haven't found a part where it says that Circle will be implemented. If you Google on Apple Circle, then you'll only see Bitcoin/crypto related sites reporting about it.
